Deported veterans fight to return 'home' from Mexico

[guno]

And yet we have right wing keyboard warriors who never served allow to stay

In a strip mall on a dusty street, a group of U.S. military veterans gather. Like any group of old soldiers, they joke, swap stories and keep each others' spirits up. But they aren't in Texas or California. This isn't a local VFW. This is Tijuana, Mexico a place most of these men barely knew before being banished here.

These veterans consider the United States home. Mexico is not the country they swore to protect before shipping off to boot camp.
The gathering place is called the Deported Veterans Support House or "The Bunker." It's a safe house for deported veterans founded by a deported U.S. veteran in 2013. That veteran, Hector Barajas, was brought to the United States from Mexico by his parents when he was seven years old in 1984. He grew up in Compton, California and like many kids, he dreamed of being a soldier.

For every vet deported, 10,000 repups should be made to eat shit and die.

 

[pismoe]

they should never have been allowed in the USA military Guno !!

 

[pismoe]

not a very good thing is it , allow foreigners in USA military is really stupid . Then when they get out and if not deported some will want to be cops or congressmen or generals from foreign nations .

 

[pismoe]

well its true , heck they go into the USA military looking for some FAVORS like citizenship from USA government . They get insurance , money , food and other material things or favors . Essentially they are nothing more than paid mercenaries PWJohn .

 

[pismoe]

and then they will want to import old sickly grandma and grandpa , uncles , aunts and extended family and the game will be played out at American taxpayer expense as family reunification is allowed . Then you end up with MORE foreigners , probably dual citizens voting in both USA and in their mother countries elections , Its not good for Americans PWJohn and Guno .

Why were they deported? Did they commit a deportable crime? In all their years in the military they never once thought to become a citizen.

Being a veteran does not also confer sainthood. These were probably gang bangers siphoning military weapons to their homies.

Told ya. They are criminals.

Some American veterans get kicked out of the country they served

Poster boy Hector, was shooting off a gun. Maybe it was a birthday party.

Foreigners have been allowed in the military for a long time. It's nothing new.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

They should have received their citizenship upon completion of their service. This is disgraceful.

--------------------------- sure , not a good idea though , especially when its from a neighboring third world country and when family reunification plus dual citizenship is allowed Bro .

---------------------------- their deportation is a good thing to see Bro !! As someone already said , being a veteran doesn't make anyone special or more important . For the most part veterans are simply government employees . ALGORE and 'ketchup kerry' were veterans , its no big deal being a government employee , cop , fireman or veteran . Just do your job , get paid and thankyou but thats all there is .

You always seem to find a new low, you fucking scumbag. These are people who put their lives on the line for the US.

Yes it does, you low-life trash.

There is an expedited process for foreigners serving in the military to become citizens. These guys didn't apply and never saw the use of going through that process.

There in no country that automatically confers citizenship based on military service. You can't make someone a citizen against their will.

Fascinating......pretty much what to expect from the Right.

Illegal detected.

 

[pismoe]
